World of Wonders by Bruce Cockburn
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OX5So6zRjtM
The world of music is quickly evolving and becoming more eclectic. The frontier of what I call “progressive roots music” appears to be eternally full of creative and artistic possibilities.
This is a video of Bruce Cockburn, renowned Canadian folk singer, in Mali with kora master Toumani Diabate. The texture of sound is soothing to my industrially bombarded nervous system… “try it – you’ll like it.”

Hard Times Come Again No More was once a song lost in obscurity, but in recent decades has become a treasured favorite Stephen Foster song. This performance is done by Mavis Staples, my favorite voice of American Gospel Music.

The Tuttle Kids ~ Music
Bluegrass Prodigy
All over this world some of most amazing musical talent is found in the obscurity of living rooms, kitchens, and around campfires. It should make us re-think our approach to music education. So much of their skills are learned vicariously from early exposure to music that’s being played by others, long before these youngsters ever pick up an instrument.
Since this video was recorded the Tuttle Family has grown up to become major figures one the American bluegrass music scene. You can check them out at their web site.
